“Burnett is one of the great mysteries of the game. He has some of the best stuff, a nasty curve, and now a knuckle curve, good fastball, etc. All the tools, except for the ice in the veins. Get a hit off him and he’s shaken. Two runners on and his knees buckle. A homer and he’s done.”
He had one halfway decent year, where he was really, really lucky. It was heaven sent that the Yankees took his fat contract off the books.
Yanks do that sort of charity work every once in a while, just to keep it fair. Remember Kenny Rogers?
